| - Well, just read all the rave reviews, and wonder if they don't get out much. My husband and I went to Cafe Heidelberg for the second time tonite, mostly because we had a $20 coupon from Entertainment book, and we were seeing a show at the Riviera which is just down the street. I didn't really like the place the first time, but that was quite a while ago, so thought we would try it again. I had cabbage soup to start and hubby had salad. He said the salad dressing was very good, but my soup was bland. I added lots of salt and pepper. I got sauerbraten and he got a combo of wiener schnitzel and some other kind of meat, which he thought was beef. Potato dumpling was not worth the calories, red cabbage was so vinegary I had to sprinkle a little sugar on it to get it down, and my three skinny slices of pork were very soft and tasted undercooked, except for the gravy, which was pretty good. We each had 2 German beers, and split an apple strudel for dessert, which was also pretty good, but then the bill came.Total came to almost exactly $100, less the $20 coupon. This is cafe food, not gourmet, and a very casual atmosphere, definitely not even close to worth $100. Our server, Clarissa, did a decent job. Not overly attentive, but got the job done. But we definitely will NOT be going back. I'm not crazy about Hofbrauhaus either, but at least they have good beer and fun entertainment.
